CHINA opened an anti-subsidy probe into dairy imports from the European Union, stepping up tension with the bloc a day after Brussels published its revised tariff plan for made-in-China electric vehicles, reports Reuters.
The EU on revised its proposed punitive duties on imports of Chinese EVs to 36.3 per cent from an initial planned duty of 37.6 per cent, but fell short of abandoning them as Beijing wanted.
The revision drew rebuke from China's commerce ministry, which in response said it is 'firmly opposed to and highly concerned' about the findings, and vowed to take all necessary measures to protect Chinese firms.
The anti-subsidy investigation on dairy announced by China's commerce ministry, the latest in a series of Chinese probes this year into EU agricultural goods, will focus on various types of cheeses, milks and creams intended for human consumption.
